In this glorious splash panel from the arbitrary start to chapter 2 of this issue, Ben hoists a car above his head, ready to hurl it into Johnny’s body. The actual damage comes in the next panel, as he misses and the car crashes through the wall, destroying both the wall and the car. But this was such a nice panel, I couldn’t resist posting it, even if I had to bend the rules slightly to do so.

You’ve got to feel sorry for the guy who owns this garage, though. Since this series began, he’s had two walls and two cars belonging to customers completely wrecked because of his continued employment of Johnny Storm. Luckily for Johnny, this is comic-book-world, so instead of getting fired and sued for damages, he has a job for whenever he feels like turning up to do some work.
